Fruits That Adds Beauty


We are always told to eat our fruits and vegetables, but fruits and their high vitamin C content can actually do wonders for your skin's appearance. Besides fighting off colds, vitamin C prevents pigmentation clumping (which leads to age spots) and strengthens capillaries so they don't break or bruise easily (this helps skin because you won't see tiny red lines on your face, especially around your nose and eyes). You can also get loads of vitamin C from dark green veggies like broccoli and spinach.
Here i am giving you some tips to make your skin glow and look younger. Its simple to follow. Just try it out. Based on different types of skin we can use different fruit pack.

  • Oily Skin: If you have oily skin, firstly use a tomato slice on your face and rinse off with water. This works like a fresh astringent and closes the pores. Next use Orange, as it removes the impurities caused by greasiness. It also gives a glow without looking greasy. Take half a teaspoon of orange juice, add four to five drops of lime juice, add half a teaspoon of multani mitti (Fullers Earth), half a teaspoon of sandalwood powder, a few drops of rosewater and mix it well. Refrigerate it for a little while if you wish. Mix well, apply it and keep it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off with water.
  • Dry Skin: Banana is good for your skin as it acts as a moisturiser and softens the skin. Mash a small banana, add half teaspoon of sandalwood powder, add six to seven drops of honey. Add half a teaspoon of malai and a pinch of haldi powder. Haldi brightens your skin. Mix well, apply and keep it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it off with plain water.
  • Combination Skin: If you have this skin type, your T-zone is usually oily and the C-zone is dry. This means, your forehead and cheeks are dry and the rest is oily. So here, you can use the oily skin pack for the portion that is oily and the dry skin pack for the part that is dry.
  • Normal Skin: If you have normal or 'fresh skin', pomegranate will work well for you. Take half teaspoon of pomegranate juice; use a little piece of banana, add half a teaspoon of sweet lime, a pinch of haldi powder, a pinch of multani mitti and half a teaspoon of sandalwood powder. Mix well and apply. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off with plain water. If you are unable to get pomegranate, you can use cucumber instead.

I tried various masks to make my skin healthy and smooth but I don't have enough patience to do them regularly. Luckily my skin is good.
